Berlin (Germany) May 23, 2023 – ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, and Frontiers, the third most-cited and sixth largest publisher in the world, have today announced a partnership that will see 10 of Frontiers’ open access journals benefit from an enhanced presence on ResearchGate through its new Journal Home offering as part of an initial trial phase.
As part of the Journal Home offering, all version-of-record content from 10 Frontiers journals – including titles such as Frontiers in Medicine, Frontiers in Surgery, Frontiers in Oncology, and Frontiers in Energy Research – will be syndicated to ResearchGate, totaling more than 62,000 articles, with new articles being syndicated on publication.
Additionally, dedicated journal profiles will be created and made accessible on the network, and each journal will be prominently represented on all of its associated articles pages on ResearchGate. This enhanced presence will help to grow the readership of these journals – as measured via COUNTER-compliant reporting – as well as increase journal visibility and engagement among the highly relevant researcher audience that is active on ResearchGate.
Authors of the articles included in the partnership will see their content automatically added to their publication pages on ResearchGate, giving them access to statistics showing the impact of their work, and enabling them to connect with their readers. Additionally, researchers will be able to more easily learn about potential publishing opportunities across the included journals.
The 10 journals included in the partnership represent an initial trial set and come from a broad range of disciplines, and given the size of the ResearchGate network, millions of authors and readers stand to benefit from the partnership.
“A partnership between Frontiers and ResearchGate stands to benefit millions of scientists and researchers. The Frontiers journal portfolio captures the whole spectrum of scientific disciplines, so there’s great potential when we look at connecting them with the 25 million members on ResearchGate. We’re excited to see how this partnership develops over the coming months,” said Sören Hofmayer, Chief Strategy Officer at ResearchGate.
